Match Preview

With UEFA Europa League Group K standings all but finalised, the teams featured in today’s Zulte Waregem vs Lazio preview will be playing for pride more than anything else at the Regenboogstadion. The Belgian hosts have found competing at this level extremely tough going, taking just four points from the fifteen available so far, while their opponents have excelled.

In the lead up to this week’s Zulte Waregem vs Lazio betting tips, the Essevee’s results have ranged from good to disastrous in the UEL. Their tournament got off to the worst start possible when they welcomed Nice to town on match day one. They were hammered 5-1 in front of their deflated supporters that evening and the gulf in class was stark. They followed that up with a loss in Rome to Lazio, before picking up their first point in a 1-1 draw at home to Vitesse. They beat the Dutch side 2-0 on their own patch a couple of weeks later but were undone again versus Nice, losing 3-1 in France.

The Biancocelesti have sailed through the opening stages of the competition, winning four of their five fixtures since August, scoring ten and conceding just four times so far. Simon Inzaghi’s men won their first four Group K contests on the spin but were held in their last outing by Vitesse who stole a point after a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico. Inzaghi is almost certain to rest many of his big stars for their trip to Belgium, which is understandable given their untouchable spot at the group’s summit.

Zulte Waregem vs Lazio Prediction and Betting Advice

Even though Inzaghi will more than likely shuffle his pack for this clash, the fact that the home team essentially have nothing to play for should cancel out any advantage they have when playing against the slightly weakened Italians. With that considered, I’m tipping an away win to start these free Zulte Waregem vs Lazio bets.

The Italians have been excellent across three competitions in 2017/18 with their ranks swollen with some of Europe’s best up and coming young players. Zulte Waregem are clearly a couple of levels below their more illustrious opponents and their two results against Nice in particular in Group K where they conceded eight times were key in assessing their abilities.

The Biancocelesti will be keen to maintain their unbeaten record as well as all the momentum they have built in the Europa League and with minimal pressure, their players should really enjoy themselves at the Regenboogstadion.

The home team’s statistics were key in settling on the second of our OddsDigger Zulte Waregem vs Lazio predictions today. Four of their five matches so far have had goals in both the first and second halves. To supplement that, when we take a look at the first meeting between these clubs in Group K, the same trend is easily identifiable.

In the Stadio Olimpico in late September, a first-half strike from Felipe Caicedo and a second-half hit from Ciro Immobile earned a win for the hosts. Inzaghi’s attack have had quite an even spread of goals in terms of timing in their five matches. They have scored in the first half of three games and in the second half in four.

The Belgians’ lack of quality in defensive areas will always heighten the chances of first-half goals going in. Ladbrokes have some cracking odds on there to be a goal in each forty-five on December 7^th, making them our bookie of choice for the last of today’s European football tips.
